Only thing i don't like but it is a personal dislike is yellow number kits... the minute the number is accidentally rubbed off or time faded it becomes a pain to identify them, i use the recognised colour and number coded sleeves and regardless if the number wears away the colour still identifies the cable.
 
Scatts, Farnell, RS Components .... never had any trouble getting the correct gear, i wouldn't even entertain using general electrical wholesalers to source my gear for panel building.

All good advice Darkwood, but at the end of the day, he's an apprentice and wouldn't know too much about the sort of panelwork you're involved in. He get's given the materials and instructions on how to markup/identify the cables. What you can see, as soon as the cover of this JB arrangement is removed, is that a bit of care and thought has gone into it's installation...

Personally i don't like to see cable ties to dress cables, certainly not in a consumer unit or distribution board setting, but in a JB as we have here, i don't see much of a muchness of them being used or not.

Better to not cable tie them and if there is enough cables put in some panel trunking (the one with the fins that snap off on both sides

This be my little project this week .. a 2motor dust extract control with sequencing control for 2 remote pneumatic filter cleaning system.

Designed, built and programmed by myself.

Extract controls.png Unfortunately it was fitted to existing system and i ended up having to earth S/Y sheath on 2no' 230v aux supplies to the filter monitor kits... to say its only 2 yrs old and was installed by professional team i resolved several running issues, rectified 3 non compliant issues and customer very happy ;)
